alright, i'm gonna give you warning right up front... i took crazy amounts of pictures this week. i don't know why, i just couldn't stop. seriously. parker was doing hilarious things, we actually went places, & the weather was notable, for good & for bad. somehow i managed to keep it to just six pictures for each day.

but still, proceed at your own risk & don't say i didn't warn ya.

monday. the weather was gross. parker & i bundled up in hoodies & rain coats & headed to costco where parker proceeded to be crazy cute. proof here.

that night he amazed me with his shape sorting skills. well, more like hitting-the-shapes-against-the-sorting-bucket-and-occasionally-get-lucky-with-getting-one-in skills. i was still impressed.

tuesday. you know it's gonna be a good day when your kid wakes up & gives you a smile like this. for real... he cracks me up. and then he proceeds to park himself on his belly, head in hands, on his pillow pet, to watch the slideshow of pictures our apple tv plays while playing music. kills me.

that afternoon we took off our sweats, put on real clothes, & headed to the mall for some shopping. parker explored the changing room while i played dress up, we both modeled fedoras & had a mini photo shoot, & then split a soft pretzel. i don't think a day gets any better.

wednesday. i looked out the window during a sunbreak & thought to myself... "hmm, we should go for a run." so we did. only thing is, i did not account for the fact that sunbreaks last 5 minutes around here & it wasn't long before p-ray & i found ourselves caught in a hail storm. he stayed nice & toasty zipped up in his rain-shield bubble while i on the other hand, came away soaked through all layers of my socks & clothes. but i kinda liked it.

we dried off & headed to where else? target. i still love to wear parker in his sling for quick in & out trips. i will be sad when the day comes that i can't wear my baby anymore.

that night i found some old lights from my college dorm room & put them up in p-ray's room. i'm kinda loving them & p-ray has found something he is totally loving as well... his new bff, the toothbrush.

thursday was my day in the office & as per the uge, i arrived to find a huge stack of files on my desk & an overflowing inbox. i was pretty proud of myself when at the end of the day, the inbox was empty. totally braggable.

i drove home in some gorgeous sunshine, snuggled with parker on the couch for a good half hour once home, & sam bbq-ed salmon. it may have only been fifty degrees out, but it wasn't raining & that means bbq at our house.

parker & sam spent the rest of the night wrestling & i tried super hard to get a good picture of them, but they were all a blur. those two don't hold still for a second when they're together.

friday. after parker woke up from his butt-up-in-the-air-and-snuggling-with-his-blanket sleep, we went to stroller strides which was outside since it was gorgeous out. hoooooray. even though "gorgeous" still entailed bundling parker up in his hat & heavy coat, it felt amazing to be outside.

after stroller strides i took parker to the doctor for a check up {he's still fighting the same cold from two weeks ago} & he enjoyed playing with all the germy waiting-room toys & hanging out naked.

that night we went to our favorite dive burrito bus for dinner & sam taught parker how to drive in the costco parking lot. ok, so we were actually parked eating our burritos & parker was sitting on his lap. but still, it blew p-ray's mind.

happy weekend everyone!
